9 September
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6, ESV)
Before mission jitters can be difficult to deal with. That is what was going on when this promise was given to the Israelites. They were about to enter combat on the other side of the Jordan River and the Lord thought they could use a little encouragement. His is still offering the same counsel for you. Don’t be afraid of what is waiting for you outside the gate, for the Lord Himself goes with you.
Prayer: Lord, I have no fear when I trust in You.
